Allows leases (4)

I believe the answer is:

lets

This clue is a double definition.

'allows' is the first definition.
('let' can be a synonym of 'allow')

'leases' is the second definition.
('let' can be a synonym of 'lease')

(Other definitions for lets that I've seen before include "we shall serve them again!" , "Yes" , "Leases" , "Allows or causes to" , "Permits" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
